Nepalese people are celebrating Shahid Diwas (the Martyrs’ day) today. Nepal is observing a public holiday to mark this special occasion. The personnel from government services, public administration, private institutions and every other sector of the country are paying homage to the departed souls of the revered martyrs on this day.  

There is a place called ‘Shahid gate’ where people assemble and offer flowers and garlands to the statuettes of the four renowned martyrs of Nepal namely Dashrath Chand, Dharma Bhakta Mathema, Gangalal Shrestha and Shukraraj Shastri. They were the ones who sacrificed their own lives for the sake of freedom of the nation from the autocratic Rana regime and the instigation of democracy in Nepal. The sovereignty and prosperity of Nepal is largely attributed to the contribution of great people like them.

Makhamali is a flower that holds great cultural significance in Nepal. Its English name is Bachelor Button or Globe Amaranth. The Bhai Tika is the occasion when Nepalese folks make garlands and small bouquets (Guchchha) of this flower.
